The day that the Mesquida table was moved, end up to the Mesquida picture: L[Laura] & I sitting opposite each other. Other changes, which sent a plate over to Can Torrent & fixed the inlaid table in the screen corner.

Made blackberry & apple jelly: in the middle Laura wanted to read out her contingent will instructions to executors. ××××[crossed out] We worked on these until 2 a.m. In the middle I tried to squeeze the juice through
a cloth but it went wrong & I made a lot of mess, & waste.
